    X-Ray Background from Early Binaries
    http://aasnova.org/2016/11/23/x-ray-background-from-early-binaries/

    What impact did X-rays from the first binary star systems have on the universe around them?
    A new study suggests this radiation may have played an important role during the reionization of our universe.

    Is the universe a sponge? - physicsworld.com
    http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/indepth/2016/nov/24/is-the-universe-a-sponge

    Does the large-scale universe look more like meatballs, like Swiss cheese or like a sponge? A meatball universe would be composed of isolated,
    disconnected regions of high density embedded in a connected low-density background. The Swiss cheese universe would be precisely the opposite:
    low-density isolated voids embedded in a high-density connected background. A sponge is neither of the above or, if you prefer, a compromise
    between the two. In a sponge both the low-density and high-density regions are each connected, and ideally both the sponge and its “complement”
    (the network of holes) are identical in character, at least from a topological point of view.

    Shear brilliance: Computing tackles the mystery of the dark universe
    http://phys.org/news/2016-11-brilliance-tackles-mystery-dark-universe.html

    Scientists from The University of Manchester working on a revolutionary telescope project have harnessed the power of distributed computing
    from the UK's GridPP collaboration to tackle one of the Universe's biggest mysteries – the nature of dark matter and dark energy.

    Researchers at The University of Manchester have used resources provided by GridPP – who represent the UK's contribution to the computing grid
    used to find the Higgs boson at CERN – to run image processing and machine learning algorithms on thousands of images of galaxies from
    the international Dark Energy Survey.

    The Manchester team are part of the collaborative project to build the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), a new kind of telescope currently
    under construction in Chile and designed to conduct a 10-year survey of the dynamic Universe. LSST will be able to map the entire visible sky.

    N4RC0T1C: Zdravím, díky moc. :)

    K odstavci 1: je to možné, koneckonců naše civilizace také využívá fyzikálních zákonů,
    viz třeba gravitační manévry sond v blízkosti planet (taková mládežnická verze
    benefitů díky gravitaci hmotných těles). Otázkou je, jak by se daná civilizace
    vypořádala s turbulentním prostředím, zářením, teplotama...
    Ale podstatné je, že žádné fyz. zákony využití dilatace nezakazují.

    U odstavce 2 je už vše "vachrlatější", protože jde o čiré dohady, navíc týkající se i ""psychologie""
    dané civilizace. A tady bohužel neznáme nic jiného, než tu naši, a ta nás přesvědčuje o opaku.
    Navíc "vyčůraně čekat" se nemusí vyplácet, protože dřív než shrábneme technol. vychytávky, můžeme
    schytat nějakou hodně nepříjemnou událost (výbuch blízké supernovy, asteroid, kolize těles
    u vícečetných hvězdných/planetárních systémů atp...)

    Jenže při těchto úvahách zase vycházíme jen a jen z našich zkušeností, což nemusí být směrodatné.

    A meteorite estimated to be older than Earth has been recovered from a West Australian farm with the help of some enthusiastic stargazers and a phone app.
    The 1.15-kilogram meteor landed near Morawa on Halloween, discovered days later by members of Curtin University's Desert Fireball Network (DFN).

    New family of stars discovered in Milky Way shed new light on galaxy's formation
    http://phys.org/news/2016-11-family-stars-milky-galaxy-formation.html

    An astronomer from LJMU's Astrophysics Research Institute has discovered a new family of stars in the core
    of the Milky Way Galaxy which provides new insights into the early stages of the Galaxy's formation.

    The discovery has shed new light on the origins of globular clusters – which are concentrations of typically
    a million stars, formed at the beginning of the Milky Way's history.

    Asteroid That Killed Dinosaurs Made Earth's Surface Act Like Liquid, Scientists Say : The Two-Way : NPR
    http://www.npr.org/...0/scientists-say-dinosaur-killing-asteroid-made-earths-surface-act-like-liquid

    When the asteroid believed to have killed off the dinosaurs smashed into Earth some 66 million years ago,
    its sheer force made the planet's surface momentarily act like a liquid.

    The asteroid ripped open a 60-mile-wide hole. From miles deep in that abyss, rock hurtled upward to a height
    twice that of Mount Everest and then collapsed outward to form a ring of mountains.

    And it all happened within 5 minutes — 10 tops, as Sean Gulick, a geophysicist at the University of Texas,
    Austin, tells The Two-Way.
